Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 351 Chapter 350, Seized? It's better to tinker with it yourself
"Okay, stop sighing and do what needs to be done! Now that the organization has been decided, let's first build the overall structure and divide the veterans. Those who should be promoted to platoon leaders will be promoted to platoon leaders, and those who should be squad leaders or deputy squad leaders will be squad leaders. Then, we will also arrange for the veteran backbones of each squad."

"In a word, after the training of new recruits is completed, our three reinforced companies can directly incorporate the new recruits into the company and immediately form a complete organization!"

"Oh, right, the veterans in the first company should not be moved for the time being, as they are the guarantee of our combat effectiveness. However, you, the commander of the first company, must not be secretive. From among your soldiers, those who are suitable to be squad leaders and deputy squad leaders, you should select 18 of them and prepare to go up, and then distribute them to the second, third, and fourth companies. The four of you can discuss among these prepared squad leaders who are most suitable to be assigned to them, and make your own arrangements."

"Don't worry, the last soldiers assigned to your company will be those soldiers selected from the special operations team training team! I've read Comrade Peregrine's training plan. When the special operations team training is over, each recruit will have at least 500 rounds of ammunition training and be familiar with the use of semi-automatic firearms. It's very suitable for your company. Well, the company-level cadres and those below can go back. We will hold a small meeting at the team headquarters."

Seeing that everyone seemed to lack interest, Zhao Danian directly ordered the end of the meeting involving the company commanders, and then left five cadres to continue the meeting.

Why five cadres? Zhao Danian, Xing Weiguo and Li Yuexuan were the team leaders, Zhu Xingyu was the instructor, and Xiao Fengyun was in charge of the military workshop and served as the logistics team leader in the guerrillas.

After a sound of stool legs rubbing against the ground, the company commander, instructor, and several platoon leaders who were participating in the meeting left the meeting room and went outside to discuss how to assign the veterans.

However, the five cadres in the room looked at each other and continued their meeting.

"As for the platoon leaders of each platoon, there is actually not much to say. The veterans who returned from Beiyue District are very suitable. They have gone through both combat experience and cultural learning, so there is no problem for them to be platoon leaders. The problem now is that Bai Dabao and Luo Wei have been transferred to the special operations team, and Tian Chuan is also the captain of the special operations team, which has used up three quotas."

"They have gone to discuss it, so let's also discuss who should be promoted to be the platoon leader? The key is, who will be the platoon leader of the guard platoon?" asked Zhao Danian.

"Well, let me see..." Zhu Xingyu looked at the notebook and said, "Bai Dashan is now the 1th squad leader of the 7st company. According to his resume, he has fought with Peregrine Falcon for a long time and has made outstanding achievements. It is appropriate to put him in the 2nd company as a platoon leader! And Cui Xinlang is now the squad leader of the cavalry platoon. Let's put him in the rd company as a platoon leader to replace Luo Wei."

"This arrangement is fine. Then who will be the guard platoon leader? Which of these veteran team members is suitable?" Zhao Danian frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't find a suitable one because they were all in their positions.

"Niu Sihai, right?! When you went to Beiyue District, he and Chen Bingliang were the members who stayed behind. Although they did not participate in the battle in Beiyue District, they participated in the battles over the past year. He can be promoted to platoon leader. I will lead him personally!" Zhu Xingyu looked through the small notebook and said with the final decision.

"Niu Sihai... from Niujiawazi Village. When he was young, his family was well off. He opened a small shop in Ping'an County and attended a private school for a few years. Later, his family fell into poverty and he failed to complete his studies. He ended up working as a second-in-command for someone else. As a result, he was slandered by his boss and almost lost a lawsuit. He finally got away with it, but then the Japanese invaders came and killed all his family members. Later, he joined the guerrillas and has been with them ever since."

"Okay, let him be the platoon leader. He has a blood feud with the Japanese. If you lead him, maybe he will grow better!" Zhao Danian talked about Niu Sihai's experience and agreed.

After the selection of the guard platoon leader was confirmed, there would be no problem with the other platoon leaders. It would just be the old team members who would take up the posts and then switch positions. At this point, the guerrillas' organization was basically resolved. They only had to wait for the new recruits to finish their training and be incorporated into the team before being sent out to fight. After solving the organization problem, Xiao Fengyun turned his gaze to Li Yuexuan: "Captain Peregrine, what do you think...with our current equipment and technology, can we try to develop our own light machine gun? I don't ask for anything else, it's okay if it goes slowly, just equip all our guerrilla squads with our light machine guns."

"You just said that the crossbow light machine gun is very good, but it is difficult to capture! So I thought, if we can't capture it, why don't we make it ourselves?"

"Make it myself..." Li Yuexuan thought for a while, then said, "It's not impossible, but I have to ask the headquarters for some materials!" Li Yuexuan said after thinking for a while.

"No problem, just give me a list of what you want and I'll ask the headquarters directly!" Xiao Fengyun patted his chest to make the promise.

"So... what kind of machine gun do you want? One like the Czech and Type 96, with the magazine on top? Or one like our semi-automatic, with a magazine underneath the gun?" Li Yuexuan asked his own question, because he wanted to be sure of his comrades' ideas before taking action.

"It's up to you. We'll make whatever you design. What do you think?" Xiao Fengyun looked at the others.

"My opinion is that I have no opinion! Peregrine, just do as you please and do whatever you think is best. We have no objection as long as the caliber of the new machine gun is the same as the semi-automatic one!" Zhao Danian looked at Li Yuexuan with a smile, and his eyes revealed happiness.

"Is that right? Comrade Peregrine, just focus on tinkering with firearms and don't worry about other things. We are here for you! From today on, just stay in the ordnance workshop and I will take care of the rest!" Xing Weiguo's eyes revealed an emotion of 'you are finally doing something serious'.

"Hehe...ha...ok, I'll just be lazy. Apart from running in the morning and evening, I won't care about anything else!" Li Yuexuan said with a laugh.

"Yes, you don't have to worry about anything else, just focus on making the light machine gun! The headquarters arsenal is also making light machine guns, there should be a lot of material storage, I don't think Minister Zhang will refuse your request!" At this point, Xiao Fengyun smiled and said, "I'm worried that if Minister Zhang wants you away again, that would be bad!"

"I don't think I'm leaving, otherwise I wouldn't have been allowed to come back!" Li Yuexuan waved his hand and continued, "Besides, Minister Zhang hasn't been in the mood to pay attention to a small fry like me during this period of time."

"Well... I really don't have time! But you are not a small follower!" Zhu Xingyu took over the conversation.
